hey guys

just got car back from mechanics today fixing the headgasket i blew

..

thats all sweet

but driving the car around today for a few hours, and the change into 3rd gear from 2nd and then the change from 3rd to 4th gear were extreamly stiff.. andyways ... cruising up a steep hill in 3rd, need the exra oumfff to get up the hill.. so i go to change down to 2nd

and i get nothing... i got the car out of 3rd gear, but then i couldnt get it back into any gears what so ever

i managed to get the stick into what felt like 1st gear... but the car didnt go anywhere... it jus reved out

initially i thought i' done the clutch, but after a couple of minuted i manged to well and truely force it inot what feels like 3rd gear and limp it the 4km home... was just lucky i didnt get any red traffic lights lol

what could it be causing me to not be able to get the car into gear

i know the mechanics didnt do anything, because i was helping them do the head gasket replacement the whole time and nothing was touched

any ideas?

yeah cluch is fine still nice and solid like normal

i was there helping the mechanic (girl friends dad) fix the headgasket, gearbox wasnt touched and engine was left in place

although not long after i got it back the car would not move while turning at low speeds (car is a r32 gts-4) and the torque gauge was going off tap

i didnt want to have to deal with it for the time being so i just pulled the fuse and ran the car in 2wd and those problems stopped

that night the problems i mentioned in my first post happened

the slave cyl reivour is plenty full and i even drove home in 3rd gear, so the clutch itself is fine too.

just getting in and out of gears was the issue

just went out to the car a minute ago to see if i could move the gear stick... nothing pretty much the only movement i get from it is a slight up and down movement, cant even get that nice side to side movement you get while in neutral

is there a selctor or linkage inside the box that could be broken... i have no idea whats going on!

thanks

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
